    Thorny Cactus
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]


  • What To Buy: You can buy cactus as low as RM10 for 6 pots, mixed and match. They are great succulent plants for the home or office because they require minimum maintenance. Some exotic or old cactus can fetch up to hundreds of Ringgit.

    Cactus grow in bonsai pots look very interesting for the home decor. If you don't like this thorny plant, then you can opt for some cactus which has no thorns and look like a lotus flower. Sprinkle some water dew and the plant will look glittering like diamonds.
